Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance (50 Meters)
Your PINDOWS PDS-643 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or showering with hot water, as steam can penetrate the seals. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged.

Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one lithium metal battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
Cleaning
Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the case or strap. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used.
